Charlotte fell off the bed for the first time

 

Mommy let you stay on bed like usual and went out to cook. After I’ve been out for about 15 minutes. I heard a “bong” sound and I thought you fell down from bed right away before you even cried. I ran into the room and you already started crying. It must hurt so much and my heart was broken. Mommy held you up right away and hugged you. I tried to nurse you but after two bites you turn up and crying so I just hold you and walk around, but you were smiling already after a little bit. I texted daddy about it and she called mommy to ask about you. He came back home early like 10:15 because he’s worried that mommy needed to cook and had no time to take care of you. Daddy loves you so much!

Charlotte ‘crawls’ on bed

You were in the room by yourself playing. Daddy and mommy both went out to make something to eat. I was in the restroom and heard you crying a little bit but not loud. I thought you just didn’t want to be yourself and didn’t think much. When I went in the room I couldn’t see you so I was glancing at all the spots and found you on the right corner of the mattress where the end table was by your crib. Daddy had been wanting to take the end table out because he thought that you would fell on that table since you can roll very flexible now. I asked him to wait until day time to do it and he had not done it yet and it happened! Daddy took the end table out right away and moved your crib to attach the wall.

You can be very loud now when you started crying, even at night when you wake up, you would cry loud unlike like in the past when you only made soft sounds.

Charlotte’s first Valentine’s day

Today was a snow day and it’s valentine’s day. We were invited by Ling, a friend from bible study group. I bought you a new winter outfit that waipo picked for you. You took a nap on way to their place and still sleeping at their place, like an hour. You were sweating while sleeping  with the thick outfit. You were really good the whole day. We ate hot pot and I let you try the soup  and you loved it. I brought your small high chair, and you sat on it for a couple hours with no complaint. They all liked you because you were smiling a lot when they were talking to you.

You were having trouble with pooping these couple days. You would have a piece of poop got stuck when changing your diaper. It’s easy to tell that you were trying to poop again because your face would be making “eng eng” sound.

Chinese new year

You slept so well today. Woke up once during the night so mommy let you sleep by me. We were up early before 7 the watch the Gala and you were still sleeping well. Daddy got up to cook since we were going to a Chinese new year potluck. You got up at around 10:45am and I took a bath for you in the sink since daddy hasn’t taken one for you for a week. we went to the potluck at around noon. There were people from our bible study group and Dr. Wu held you after lunch.

mommy stayed home with baby

Mommy didn’t go to work since you were too sick and had trouble breathing sometimes. I wanted to stay with you to make sure you are doing ok, and didn’t want you to spread the illness to other kids at daycare. We went to waipo’s house for lunch and dinner again-as waipo already said she would cook lunch for us. You slept a lot today-got up at almost 11am, head to waipo’s house. You felt asleep again after lunch until almost 5pm. Daddy went to waipo’s place for lunch and dinner too. Waipo cooked dinner and head to work because your granduncle called her to work. You had been waking up at least 2 or 3 times during the night since the first day that you were coughing/ sick.

fever of 102.4

I picked you up from daycare and Missy was touching your forehead and saying you might have a  temperature. I never thought about you would have a fever but yes, your body was really warm. I took your temp after got home. The thermometer wasn’t accurate for the first few times. It was showing  around 98.4 for a few times. There’s one time showing 102.7 and I called daddy but he didn’t answer the phone and I took a picture of it and send to him. We went to waipo’s house for dinner as she wanted to cook for daddy and mommy because she knew we were busy. Daddy saw the missed calls and called back. I told him about your temperature. He said he’s going to head back and take you to emergency right away. He was at dinner with co-workers. He grabbed you to urgent care himself. Mommy was very hungry and just got to waipo’s house. You were diagnosed as RSV and fever of 102.4.. we went to hyvee  to get your prescription. Daddy said that when the nurse weighted you, you were only about 17lb and the nurse thought the weight scale was inaccurate because you didn’t look like a 17lb baby

baby not feeling well

You throat wasn’t feeling great at all through the night, you coughed and woke up a few times and crying. I tried to comfort you nursing you and letting you sleep by me. you woke up probably 3 times. This morning when you got up at 9am, you were ok on bed and smiling. After I changed your cloth and gave you some baby food we made last night, you didn’t seem to be happy. You had runny nose after I took a big piece of bi shi out of your nose.  You had the soft crying in the morning and you pooped too.

Charlotte doesn’t like boiled potates

There wasn’t much milk for you at daycare. you woke up to be nursed during the night and as you felt asleep I pulled out and pumped some milk for the day.

You woke up at 9:30 today. I had you get up instead of laying on bed. I made you some potatoes as you were hungry. You didn’t seem to excited about it, so I added some soy sauce on it to make it taste something.  Sometimes you would not open your mouth when I give to you. I nursed you a little bit and gave more potato to you and you started crying, so I stopped. I realized that you pooped, so I changed your cloth and diaper and washed you before sending you to daycare.  I emailed daddy that I was worried you would not have enough milk today and was dreaming about pumping milk during sleep. Daddy said he didn’t have the working mood, so he was searching how to make baby food and we went out shopping for some fruits and yogurt for you. Daddy made you some food and you ate a lot. We put you down to sleep at about9:30 and you just played yourself for a long time  on bed until daddy and mommy both got on bed with you.
